Under the proposed salary increase for government employees, DepEd Teachers will receive an additional P6,500 a month within four years which is almost 60% increase from regular salary.

This increase is a join resolution of the the Congress committee on appropriations which overwhelmingly approved the proposal. Through this, the teachers is expecting salary increase starting July this year once approved by the president.

Congratulation to all teachers, the years of waiting is only until July this school year 2009-2010.

nice to know about the increase and hoping that it can elevate the standard of living of the teacher. and also hoping that this cannot be the cause of abuse supervisor and other head of offices in deped.

i think it's too early to celebrate such increase because the way i see it, it's still in the congress for the final reading, and the increase this coming june-july - 10% increase is nill, but we hope this said increase will materialize.

The salary increase is still pending, awaiting the signature of Pres. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, so if the salary increase would be P6,500 in 4 years, the computation for that would be P1,625/month, in conclusion the salary is still shortchanged, and it is the same with the 10% increase this coming July.

for 4years! P6,500 and the other one is P9,000 which is which? this increase is too small for the teachers to be congratulated in advance" kung tutuusin maliit lang ito sa sinasahod ng mga tao sa congreso at senado," gayong ang trabaho ng guro is humulma ng pagkatao!

those that are against to the increase why not try yourself wear the shoes of the teachers, like what congressman Iscodero did" so you would know how hard it is' and just receive a small salary" To the people in congress and senate and to the president your vote to this small increase would mean a lot to the teachers and to the families of this servant!

fine, if that's the only increase tha government can share to the " ulirang mga guro" buti pa ang "pork barrel too easy to to increase and too easy to demand" talking about salary increase, and hirap ibigay. ibinigay na nga.. another long wait pa.. when it would be finally implemented.. ipasaDiyos ko na lng lahat..

i cannot really imagine and accept the fact that military personnel are receiving higher salaries than us teachers who spent at least 4 years in college. TI salary is equivalent to Private First Class Military Personnel with a minimum education requirement of high school education diploma. milton was all wrong when he said that "pen is mightier than sword".

THE EARLIER THE BETTER. one of the motivations for teachers to be effecient and effective is to have a salary grade which really compensate on the tasks of our daily works. Teachers supposedly should be highly-paid so they can concentrate well in their lessopns.

The teachers are the molders of the youth. How can the teachers mold properly if ginugutom kami. How can we teach effectively if dahil sa kakulangan sa sweldo marami kaming utang. Please naman tingnan nyo naman ang kalagayan namin. Ang 6,500 na increase within four years ay hindi sapat.

I think the government should give special attention to us teachers. The Php6500 increase is a blessing. But compared to other countries who give high priority to their educators, it's nothing especially so that it will be given within 4 years. What is Php1625 a month? It's not even enough to buy us a cavan of rice!

I am 1 of those teachers na halos mawalan ng chance to uplift my personal ways of living. 8 s bcoz, I dvoted most of my xtra times 2 my commitment, teaching Filipino children. 4 so long of hardships & agonies, I tried 2 survive 4 such rsponsibilty. But wat would b d lyf awaits me after all these things. I gave my all but I cant tek any chances 2 elevate my ways of living due 2 d salary I received monthly. I pased 2 qualifying exams 4 teachers abroad, yet I want that DEPED would stop me from those chances bcoz I will lost d chance 2 teach my Filipino children. Salary increase s ol I want 2 answer this situation so I could not teach other countries. Now, abrod ng abrod ang mga teachers. Wat will happen next? 8 s a call, plea, & appeal. help save dying Filipino teachers.

celebrate? for what reason? the 6,500 increase to be given in four tranches? c'mon...by 2012 the salary of the teachers will become 18k plus...while the allowance of the PMA Cadet will become 27k plus...that cadet has not earned yet a college diploma and has just began college at PMA...compare nga po natin...makatarungan po ba at patas po ba...ginagago ng gobyerno ang mga gurong nagpapakahirap para igabay ang mga batang magiging kinabukasan ng bayan...reality check lang po....

honestly with the kind of job that we had, for me the said increase is not enough. but what can we do, i guess nothing, so we ought to settle to this little crap. to hell to those officials, congressman and senators, they know nothing about this field and they don't have any idea about the real scenario. bless their heart!

good start and God bless those who support it one way or the other but how about non-teaching personnel? isn't the increase unfair? non-teaching/suppor staff work 8 hours a day and yet they earn less than half of what the teachers are receiving a month exclusive of other benefits teachers are receiving. this july, teachers' salary will be one step/three step higher than last year's salary... how about the support staff who are doing clerical works? are we not deserving to receive also one or two step higher salary grade?... come to think of it...

P6,500 is not enough for teachers who are always sacrificing their lives just to have clean and peaceful elections, teachers with a big family, many loans and with over time I mean extension services compared with the other agencies that they were given overtime pay!

ok na ok ang salary increase scheme. tayo talaga! we do not have to make this place a country of discontentments. Filipinos are known to be insatiable. We have to be thankful naman. Hindi naman talaga basta-basta ang teacher population of the whole country. we have to learn to recognize and appreciate anything good that is done to us.

Submission of the LIST OF TEACHERS WITHSPECIALIZATION IN MATH AND SCIENCE1.

That's good news! I strongly believe that the government should pay attention on teachers' salary increase and more benefits... It's not easy being one.. for me, a teacher is a hero.. especially if they can stay in the Philippines to teach our fellow Filipinos instead of going abroad.. If only the government could give more emphasis on the teachers' needs.. One should understand that the teachers have important roles in One's future career.. Without the teachers, there would be no other professions in this world.. This is a good start.. I hope the government would not take for granted our precious possessions... Mabuhay to all the teachers!!!

Re: 3 step increment to Math & Science TeachersMay we appeal to the DepEd officials to please be fair to everyone; it's what we teach to our students. A teacher's effectiveness does not lie on his specialization. This is a seed of discontent that will grow into something that will adversely affect the students and somehow, the workplace. FEllow non-math and science teachers, what should we do about this?

RE: 3 step increment for Math and Sci teachersI think this is grossly unfair! What's their basis for doing this? I read the unnumbered nat'l DepEd memo dated July 22, 2009 and it does not explain why. Some Sci or math teachers can teach their lessons with faulty English grammar and still get the 3 step increment(",)? To the supervisors of English and other subjects, maawa naman kayo and help us get treated fairly. Many English teachers are also going abroad for greener pasture. If it's because few are specializing in Chem and Physics, then this should be put to effect 5 years from now, but give the announcement now to encourage potentials to specialize in them. Imagine what thousands of dissatisfied non- sci or math teachers might do as a result of this biased, inconsiderate decision of the department. To anyone who can suggest something to right this injustice, we're open to it!

Is this for real?Or it's just part of political propaganda?Then why is it until now we haven't receive our glorification?Are all the moneys depEd fund gone by the wind?or being used for election fund....where is our good secretary?As the line of the song which goes this way,"Promises made ...promises broken." -oOo- stacy,depEd

The only best way to uplift teaching profession is to pay teachers the amount due them. Nothing in this world can equate the responsibilties that teachers carry, they carry parents tasks which are more difficult than teaching the subject itself. We are mostly criticized by the way we discipline students which must be the first hand responsibilities of insensitive parents....... How could we make lessons clear if there are students who are trained by parents how to criticized other beings......
